Some users have switched to wearing smart rings instead of an Apple Watch, but they still want their rings to close throughout the day in Apple Fitness to keep their streaks going.
I've noticed that the 3rd party smart ring apps do not affect the progress of the exercise and move rings unless the user puts on their Apple Watch and syncs with there iPhone throughout the day.
Is there a way to make the progress rings update throughout the day without having to connect an Apple Watch periodically?
As my colleague mentioned in this post, the Fitness app only shows data from Apple watch. When you wear your Apple Watch, the data is synchronized from iOS to watchOS, and then from watchOS to the Fitness app, which moves the rings.
Feel free to file a feedback report to voice your need (and share your report ID here) though.
Best,
